I haven't worked at the bank in 8 years, but still visited for business. Everytime I stopped in I would talk to Peggy and it was always well worth the stop at her desk. I always enjoyed speaking with her. She loved talking about the latest with her kids and grandsons. I will miss seeing Peggy very much.

I work at U.S. Bank in Cedar Rapids, and first met Peggy several years ago when she came to C.R. to instruct us on computer software. I've had occasion to talk to her several times since then, mostly when I had a bank operation question, and she was always very knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. We were born in the same year, so we did share stories on our grandkids, and common life experiences. I will miss her, and offer my sincere condolences to her family...

Jeb,Heather,Brenden & Owen. I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. I worked with her many years at Us Bank and going to the company parties with her and your dad. I enjoyed seeing her at Hy Vee grocery shopping and we would stop and talk she would show me pictures of her grandsons. I just met you and your family not to long ago at HvVee. My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. She thought the world of you and your family.

My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are for you, Jeb, Heather, Brenden, and Owen as you have lost a wonderful mother and grandmother. When Peggy would talk about her family, her face would light up as she told stories of her grandsons. Peggy was so special to us at the bank and we miss our friend dearly. Her smile, laugh, and positive attitude will always be remembered. Although her desk is empty, we will never forget the kindness and warmth Peggy brought to the bank.

I was so sorry to learn of Peggy's passing. She loved you all sooo much, and was so proud of all of you. She always had a Brendan or Owen story to share while she was in the dental chair. I will miss her positive attitude and sunny disposition. Liz Waters( Dr. Bilek's office)

Dear Jeb, Heather, Brenden and Owen:
You are in my thoughts and prayers during this trying time. I worked with Peggy for the past 8 years at the bank and truly enjoyed her kind heart and warm personality. She helped support many of the commercial business clients I manage and you should be proud to know that she made an everlasting impact on the people she interacted with. Those clients were saddened to hear of Peggy's passing and they want you to know they are keeping you in their thoughts and prayers. Peggy may be gone, but I will never forget the many fond memories I have of her.

To have known Peggy is to have been touched by kindness, the most positive attitude, creativity, love, experience, enthusiasm, and maturity. I have been a co-worker and friend for 25 years and I am sad for all of us to not have her in our daily life. Of course, her memory and who she was will always be with all of us. To her family, I am so sorry for your loss of a cherished mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, sister and others. Peace.

Jeb, Heather, Brenden and Owen, our deepest condolences on the loss of your MOTHER. Chic and I have many fond memories of your MOTHER when she lived in Lexington, KY and then onto DesMoines. She was very proud of you and that always showed when we were with you all. Remember all the good times, for she is definitely in a much better place. Just remember she is with our extended family in heaven and is keeping a watchful eye over your immediate family. All our love.
